Lost something on public transport?

How to track down an item left on a bus, train, tram, or taxi by contacting the right transport operator.

Items left on buses, trains, trams, and taxis around Baton Rouge are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

  1. Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
  2. Submit a lost property report. Use the operator's online form or phone line as soon as possible; recovered items are logged against your description.
  3. For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
  4. Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
  5. Post a listing. Add a listing for Baton Rouge in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST: Travel visas near Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge

On Monday evening around 6:30 p.m., I realized my travel visas were missing from the folder in my tote as I left a coffee shop near Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. These documents are crucial for an upcoming trip, and losing them could derail my plans. I retraced my steps along Florida Street and Nicholson Drive, checked the LSU campus post office, and asked around at a cafe, yet nothing has turned up. The visas are small, tucked into a red folder with my name on the label. If someone has found them, please contact me through the site so I can recover them.

Lost document holders after meeting near Old State Capitol.

Yesterday at 3:15 p.m., I lost two black leather document holders on a chair after a quick meeting near the Old State Capitol in downtown Baton Rouge.

Lost: Brooches in Baton Rouge

On Sunday around 4:30 pm I realized my brooches were missing from a small velvet pouch in my tote while I was at Perkins Rowe in Baton Rouge. I had been browsing near the Louisiana State Capitol area and might have left them on a chair by the cafe near the food court. The brooches include two silver pieces with a sapphire center and a tiny gold ivy leaf; they’re heirlooms from my grandmother and carry years of memory. I feel a hollow ache thinking someone might have found and kept them, and I’m trying not to lose hope.

Lost: Equipment for Various Sports near LSU.

After practice yesterday, around 7:15 PM, I realized my sports equipment bag wasn’t in my locker. I must have left it outside the Student Union on West Campus Drive, near the gym, around that time. The bag is black with a red stripe and carries shin guards, a tennis racket, elbow pads, and a whistle. Losing these items puts me in a tough spot for weekend games, and they’re important to me beyond their price.

LOST postcards in Baton Rouge, LA

I lost a folder of postcards on Friday at 4:15 p.m., after a stroll along River Road in downtown Baton Rouge. I stopped on a bench near the Old State Capitol to rest and show a friend the cards. We got up and walked away, and I realized the folder had vanished from the bench. The stack includes travel postcards from a family trip and a few handwritten notes I'm hoping to keep. I'm hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe by the Capitol steps, where the brick catches the sun in late afternoon.

Lost Adapters near Perkins Rowe, Baton Rouge

I was packing for a weekend work trip and must have set my adapters down at Perkins Rowe yesterday around 6:45 p.m. I stopped for a quick coffee outside Barnes & Noble and wandered toward the parking lot, only to realize my adapters were gone. The set includes two USB-C adapters and one micro-USB, all tucked into a small gray zip pouch. I rely on these for my laptop and phone to stay charged during long days at work, and losing them makes me feel scattered and frustrated. If you saw something near the food court or outside the movie theater, please drop a note on the site.
